ing the border, in small groups, be-
tweon Columbus, New Mexico, and

-It was learned today that almost
two hundred of these men were or

Coolidge, June 19.—(Special.)—
Sir. O. H. Hester loaded and sold a
car of watermelons Tuesday. They
were of the Watson variety and
made a fine average.
It is said that Sir. Easters re
ceived a very fancy price for them.
This is the first car to move from
this section thlB year. Mr. J. A.
Sloncrief Is loading a car today.
The crop of melons win not quite
as large as was expected it would
be from the outlook two or three
weeks ago. The heavy rains, and
then the hall storm week before
last, prevented the young melons
from clinging to the vines as (Sey
would have done, under more fav-
o.able weather conditions.
Corn crops, where well cultivated
are simply fine. Cotton |s nut doing
so well as at Brat, -because of the
late cool spell and excessive rains.
Still our peopio have a good pra-
pect, and should feel thankful for
the outlook at .present.
Ochlocknce Loaded AVednesday.
It Is reported that a carload of
melons will be shipped today from
Ochlocknee which Is Just two days
later than the Coolidge shipment
was reported. The melons were
loaded by Mr. Bob McMillan and
will average well In weight. They
will doubtless bring the high price
which first-week melons always do.

Atlanta, June IS.—While th. JJ.
S. Government was damming him
with faint praise and the city health

of the newspaper reporters so much
as lighting on him going or coming.
The fact was not learned until
today, though Dr. Friedmann was
.here last week. The young man
whom he treated is said to have beea

ment was used somewhat as a lust

ing with him. It Is said, a considera
ble fortune, gained from adminis

demonstrations were a failure, and
that hjls methods were frowned on
by leading tuberculosis experts of
